How many times have you seen the cops exaggerate and outright lie? If they are moving their lips its a good bet they are twisting something to their benefit.
I read the news links and it said they were selling to anyone, I've never been to a dispensary like that in all my years in Cali so I really doubt it's true. If it was true why not just sell weed on the street corner?

I also read it was at the behest of the county DA. It's another example of right wingers in the Central Valley not listening to the will of the people and illegally adding their input into a process they don't like.
